Robertson & Reid
Alan Reid (A Poet / Songwriter) came to some of my gigs in The Royal Oak, Edinburgh where he would occassionally sing his songs Accapella. We got talking and I had mentioned that I was thinking of trying to put a show together for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2010.
Alan was quite interested in this and suggested we should maybe look at a collaboration.
After a few discussions and ideas we kicked of an 8 week review in the downstairs lounge bar of the Royal Oak. This was followed by a highly successful gig in one of Edinburghs premier venues, The Lot.
We have quickly got ourselves established as one of Scotlands leading Indie Variety acts and are booked for gigs at both Leith's Literary Festival in June and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August and are currently in discussions with a local Film maker for the production of 6 shows to be broadcast in late summer / autumn of this year.
Under the brand of
Robertson & Reid
we also have the following
Crumbling Jack - our alter ego country / rock band with variopus line ups
Lincoln City - a Country / Rock band that performs songs penned by Alan
Ian Robertson Acoustic Music - which is my solo Traditional & Contemporary Acoustic Act
